The Clinical Development Operations fellowship is designed to provide the PharmD fellow with an understanding of the history of drug development and how the US Code of Federal Regulations and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) - Good Clinical Practice (GCP) set the framework under which clinical trials are conducted. To facilitate hands-on training, the fellow will be assigned to work on one or more clinical trials under the supervision of an experienced Clinical Trial Manager (CTM) and/or Clinical Trial Leader (CTL). The CTM/CTL will be responsible for guiding and mentoring the fellow on the strategic and operational aspects of his/her assigned clinical trials. There may also be an opportunity for the fellow to undertake special projects. Through direct mentoring and rotations, the fellow will gain an understanding of the broad range of career opportunities available to a pharmacist in Clinical Development Operations. Although the fellow will be based in Study Management & Conduct, he/she will have an opportunity to rotate/shadow through other departments within the broader Medical Department as appropriate. The intention of these rotations is to increase the fellow’s understanding of how the work of specialized functions is critical the overall conduct of clinical trials.
